is this a fresh install?
#KDE plasma black screen with cursor on user login but not root
nimble coral
what have you tried so far?
Is a Frankenstein from an old install and a new install
AMD hardware, I just installed the pro driver because I was doing OpenGL dev stuff
I don't..... Really know at all what to try. I fixed all the errors in my journal, and updated everything
But it was working before the pro drivers
But I don't think that was the issue
Famous last words. I'll uninstall the pro drivers
I just don't know why it would help if root works fine
storm zinc
sudo usermod -a -G video $USER

sudo usermod -a -G video $USER
Nope

sudo pacman -Qq | grep "xf86"

storm zinc
and its not working even after restarting?
nimble coral
I've rebooted over 10 times
It's not a graphics problem
Because it works fine on root
nimble coral
try with sddm instead of gdm
Wait I'm using GDM
I thought I was using sddm
I'm confused
storm zinc
yeah, use sddm and see if it works
nimble coral
How do I use sddm and not gdm
storm zinc
sudo pacman -S sddm
sudo systemctl disable gdm
sudo systemctl enable sddm
reboot
storm zinc
well it didn't look like ssdm in the video

pacman -Qq | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us

I have no idea what the problem is but it looks like you never removed a package in your life
nimble coral
Is there any way to get output from KDE

shorter command, shorter url, easier to remember

sudo pacman -Qq | grep "xf86"
- why sudo
- why not use pacman -Qs

See what it's doing
nimble coral
What's the problem
storm zinc
- why sudo
- why not use pacman -Qs
- doesn't matter
- because i don't need to see what every little thing is

I use haste as well

Is there any way to get output from KDE
journalctl /usr/bin/plasmashell?? idk
is this what you're thinking of
fossil raptor
1. doesn't matter
2. because i don't need to see what every little thing is
its a kludgy way of doing it
also, "doesn't matter" could justify using sudo su -c "doas doas doas sh -c 'mount /dev/../dev/sda1 /mnt'"
nimble coral
Ugh
It does a similar thing on cinnamon
Black screen nothing works
But besides a toolbar
Weston works fine
Oh well
Xfce works
Guess thats what I'm using now
It doesn't work
Fuck

I think this is related to a bad push to repos
I’m having a related issue with nvidia and xorg
Says “the control display is undefined”
That’s when running nvidia-settings
nimble coral
That’s when running nvidia-settings
What DE?
sturdy siren
Xfce4
nimble coral
I tried to open anything and nothing happened
sturdy siren
The DE doesn’t matter here as the display isn’t even being detected
nimble coral
Sddm works
sturdy siren
sturdy siren
Yes
nimble coral
Opening anything
sturdy siren
No
nimble coral
Nothing works
sturdy siren
Nope
nimble coral
But the funny thing is I can't find any error or anything
Any reference to anything
It's infuriating
sturdy siren
nimble coral
Yeah I'm completely out of ideas

i think thats called screen tearing and you can get picom or something to fix it
fossil raptor
also how the hell do you get a voice like that
fossil raptor
thats your voice right?
nimble coral
also how the hell do you get a voice like that
That's just how I talk?
nimble coral
???
nimble coral
That's not my girl voice tho
fossil raptor
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
fossil raptor
they both sound like amazing girl voices
nimble coral
Currently doing diff checks on these traces
fossil raptor
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
which gpu driver does it say
nimble coral
nimble coral
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

You know the root issue is that I can't use anything on my non-root users
fossil raptor
wikipedia says this happens "when the video feed to the device is not synchronized with the display's refresh rate"
fossil raptor
You know the root issue is that I can't use anything on my non-root users
you've been running kde as root?
nimble coral
I've test xfce, gnome, cinnamon, kde
All on root and all on my user
None work
The traces are useless I can't figure out where they diverge
fossil raptor
None work
could that be a problem with the refresh rate
or even the monitor itself
nimble coral
Nothing at all to do with my monitor. The screen tearing is...
fossil raptor
Nothing at all to do with my monitor. The screen tearing is...
yeah?
nimble coral
But it means there's an issue with my driver or a library on my computer
Probably
fossil raptor
does it work on liveisos
nimble coral
As I said. The issue is something to do with difference between my root user and all other users
If I figure out the problem there this will probably fix itself
fossil raptor
As I said. The issue is something to do with difference between my root user and...
it works fine on root, but not on non-root?

KDE get a black screen with only a cursor
have you tried reinstalling xorg
